    Summary

    “I’m glad it’s us, at the top.” Ilya admitted, letting his legs spread a bit as he visibly relaxed. “All that noise, about me not being able to hear and your-”

    He motioned vaguely, and Shane finished for him, “Chronic pain?”

    “Yes, that.” he hummed, “Was all nonsense. You’re good at what you do.”

    Shane smiles, then. “I’m glad you think so.”

    “Not as good as me, obviously.” Ilya added, and Shane rolled his eyes. “Can’t be too nice to you, can I?”

    “Guess not.”

    Or,

    Shane Hollander has a chronic pain condition and Ilya Rozanov is deaf. This inevitably means that they're going to be compared to one another, and this is only made worse when they're drafted to rival teams The Montreal Metros and The Boston Bears as first and second pick.

    It was rare enough that mainstream sports received one disabled player but two? Drafted during the same season and always one-upping each other?

    Well, it was unheard of.

    Summary

    "Whose dick was Hollander gonna fuck her with anyway?” O'Connell says.

    “What’d you mean?” the other guy asks.

    “Asian dick, man.” O’Connell pinches his forefinger and thumb together. “No fucking chance that thing is big enough.”

    Is plenty big, Ilya nearly says, before catching the tip of his tongue between his teeth.

    Shane's accident isn't enough to stop Ilya from breaking up with him.

    Summary

    After a moment, Hayden pulls back. Then he hands her the phone—Shane’s phone.

    “I grabbed this when I was getting his stuff and I saw, well.”

    He looks away from Yuna, briefly glances at David, then looks away from him too. There’s an oddly guilty look on his face that has Yuna suspicious at once.

    “Um, has Shane told you guys about Lily?”

    --

    AKA, Yuna and David find out about Lily, Shane’s... girlfriend?, while he's in the hospital. It's a while before they find out about Ilya.
